Abstract

A Mobile ad-hoc netwok (MANET) is a system of wireless mobile nodes dynamically seftorganizing ain arbitrary and temporary network topologies. People and vehicles can thus be intenetworked in areas without a pre-existing communication infrastructure or when the use of such infrastructure requires wireless extension. Therefore such networks are designed to operate in widely varying environments, from military networks to low power sensor networks and other embedded systems. Frequent topology changes caused by node mobility make routing in ad-hoc wireless networks. We study and compare the performance of several routing protocols. A variety of workload and scenarios using a variety of mobility load and size of the ad-hoc network were simulated
